Every Thanksgiving people around the country find themselves having crossed that fine line of having eaten too much. Here is a Public Service Announcement to help with the aftermath.

Find yourself a bottle of one these Herbal Digestives. They may taste like Robatussin, but 10 minutes after 1 shot, life is much better. They are for medicinal purposes, so don't go making long drinks or mixing with Red Bull.

Trust me, after a fine meal, this stuff rocks!

If you can't find Fernet Branca, then Averna is the next best thing.

If you can't find Averna, then Ramozatti

If all else fails, then get a bottle of Jagermeister. It is an herbal digestive.

On the German bottles, it says, "Nach dem Essen" which means After the Meal.

That's just because they are kreuterliqor...herb brews...many Ami's (Americans) don't know how to drink this stuff...thinking shots are the way to go...when used properly it is more like self-help medicine than something to get blitzed from...

Tell me about the Underberg. I somehow ended up with a small paper wrapped bottle of that stuff when I was a teenager taking HS German. I wasn't a big drinker back then (I've gotten over that) and so I kept the bottle for years. Somewhere along the way i lost it. Well a few winters ago SWMBO and I went to the Italian ALps skiing and took a day trip to Austria. I saw a display of those at the checkout counter of a store and grabbed one. It is sitting in a hutch in the dining room still. Is it booze? Is it a digestif? Will it make me run faster and jump higher and make Mr Happy do gymnastic's? Fill me in on this stuff please.

We picked it up in Dusseldorf where it's made, but it looks like it can be found in the States too. I'm not a fan of Jaeger, it taste way too much like cough syrup. This however I like quite a bit. Has a nice mild clove taste along all of the other herbs and spices. Makes a very fine after dinner stomach calmer
